ESL One KL's Theme
The event's theme is Rise Above Fate. Carolin Linden, senior marketing creative at ESL had this to say about the new approach: “Our theme draws inspiration from Kuala Lumpur’s mystic charm and rich folklore, inviting players and fans alike on a transformative journey. A journey led by none other than Nerif, the Oracle and great foreseer. His prophecies don't merely predict the future - they shape it. As courses collide in the grand battle for the crown, we'll have to wait and see if fate is something to be conquered. Knowing Oracle… it could go either way.”
